I'm telling you, the motley fool does it. It works. There are places that are very understanding of leave and are relatively open but don't have that policy formally, but are essentially doing it. Google is experimenting with it.

As much as what I'm saying sounds crazy, I'm not the first person to think about this, or implement it, for a reason. Just go on indeed and look up flexible-schedule. You will surely get some results. It's already a thing. I'm saying do more of it to the point that it changes culture.

Oh boy. I work in software. This could not be further from the truth.
I definitely agree with you that things are fucked up, but radical solutions are not what's needed to solve society's ills, and often come with a whole host of unexpected problems. Capitalism is really good at one thing, keeping people honest. By honest I mean honest exchange of value. The problems in our system is twofold; one, we subsidize risk for whole industries, second we don't have a "social" system of community that binds us together. For all its problems, church has always been really good about fostering social connections. Getting a proper community and social safety net is a priority that we should be looking to combine with capitalism, not replace.
